I have a blog that picked off recently. There are some old articles that are not of very high quality. Will removing them boost my site further up ? Or any other option to get beet results without deleting them ?

Optimize those articles with super long-tail kws in H2.
Tweak the title as well.

Removing them might help overall quality score but improving the articles is even better as you avoid 404's.

No delete the article. update the article and change the keyword and URLs. Share social media

If I were you, I'd enter their urls into SEMrush/AHRefs or some other tool to do a keyword diagnostic
Look for lower difficulty keywords with okay monthly search volume
I'll then re-optimize/retarget the old badly performing content to these lower difficulty keywords
I'll also use these keywords to interlink from my better performing content to these pages

improve the articles and add a picture or a video sometimes it helps

If the topics are totally irrelevant to this date, I suggest removing it.
If not, add more fresh content to the article, re-optimise it and update it with the latest date. You could also Interlink some articles to this page to give it a boost.
Another thing you could do is write a similar new content, 301 redirect the old article to the fresh one.
let us know how it goes.

You should leave the old articles and create internal links from them to important & relevant content. This is more like using them as T1 links. They'll powerup your other pages and help them rank better.
